What you can do

4 simple reflexes you can develop to be more secure

Be vigilant about your personal information. This is sensitive information. Avoid sharing it online or over the phone with unknown parties.

The personal information that fraudsters look for most is:

Your date of birth

Your bank account numbers

Your social insurance number

Your passwords

Be vigilant when someone contacts you by email, by text or over the phone.

Fraudsters can be very creative when it comes to trying to get their hands on your personal information. Most of the time, they try to pass as a credible organization, but the supposed reason for contacting you is always surprising or alarming.

The strategies they use often have several points in common:

They signal a problem — E.g.: There has been suspicious activity related to your account. Please act quickly.

They say it’s very urgent — E.g.: You must immediately pay back an unexpected amount or risk serious problems.

They promise an unexpected gain — E.g.: You’ve won an amazing amount of money or a gift. Claim it now.

If you are unsure about the authenticity of a message or the sender:

Don’t click on any links in the message.

Don’t open any attached files.

Don’t reply to the sender, so that you don’t confirm the validity of your email address.

Choose strong passwords.

Companies that care about the security of your personal information will ask you to use strong passwords that use a wide variety of characters. Get into the habit of using strong passwords for everything, so that access to your data is better protected.

Example passwords:

Weak password: Kitty

Strong password: B85tz532*

Be careful about the information you post about yourself on social media.

Social media is a gold mine for malicious individuals looking for personal information.

Don’t reveal any sensitive information such as your phone number, address or date of birth.

As much as possible, limit your posts to smaller, private groups of people you trust. Don’t post everything publicly.
